MACOMB — Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity recently presented Wesley Village with a check for $2,200. The money comes as part of the funds raised by the fraternity’s annual Tee-Off for Charity golf outing at Gold Hills held on April 21.According to Wesley Village Administrator Shelly Martin, the funds will go toward the four-season room in McCreery House, as well as toward landscaping. Martin also said the Illinois Department of Public Health has recently approved plans for Epperson House rehab and memory care household. There are still many donation opportunities in which the public can contribute for Wesley Village with the continued Pursuit of Home household project redesign plans. Fundraising Director Kassie Courson said AGR fraternity has been a major force behind the set-up for the annual Lights of Love fundraising event. Fraternity members have donated use of their pickup trucks and their labor to help set up the many Christmas trees around the property and complete the wiring. She considers AGR to be “the most charitable fraternity we have” here in Macomb.Go online to www.WesleyVillageMacomb.com for information on Wesley Village and the Pursuit of Home project.
